    Let's Vote - 67 WW Bias Rally vs Bolt-On Redline Radial

    Take a look at the pictures below. My car originally (when I bought it) came with an older set of bolt-on rims to which I added Diamondback Redline Radials (front tire on the car). I have been driving with these for the past several years. Love them. This past winter I acquired a set of five original DC GM KH rims and a complete set of four original four clip trim rings and center caps. Had the trim rings and caps restored this winter - they look great. I also purchased a new set of 5/8" ww bias ply tires from Kelsey Tires. Had the tires mounted to the rims a few weeks back and decided to see what one would look like mounted (rear tire on the car). No I am not planning to drive it this way! Just thought it might be interesting to see which rim and tire people liked best! So, send in your votes

    I'd try the Rally's w/ Redlines OR Black Walls. Sorry white walls are "chick" tires as they used to say.

        My vote is for the one that stands out best in the picture. Of course I am biased as my car came with the Ralleys and white walls (tank sticker) Dale

          I go with the rally wheels, no whitewall.

            I'm with Jay, and Bill.
            I started in high school in 1969. Back then, only your parents, and girls had white walls!

                Bolt on / Red Lines - Hands Down. They look like they mean business. The white walls..... well I'll let you read the earlier posts!

                Cool stuff!

                  I like the rally wheels with white walls. I feel they add class to the car!

                    Kirk,
                    Ralley's with blackwall. And send me the bolt-on Redlines for my Marlboro Maroon 67!! HAHA Just kidding of course.

                    I think the ralley's really look cool but with the blackwalls.

                      Ralleys with WW's, period!
                      That's the way the car was designed.
                      BO's add nothing, in fact they detract from the car and all repop red lines look bogus.

                        My vote is redlines with the Rallye Wheels. The photo is taken along the Detroit River with GM Headquarters in the background. Rick

                          Here is a picture 42 years earlier, taken by the original owner shortly after delivery, with his wife in the car, near Charlotte, NC. As you can see the car had whitewalls, so once again my vote is redlines with Rallye wheels.

                            I like the bolt ons with redlines. Everyone got rally wheels. The bolt ons just look so much more expensive.

                              Peter,
                              No disrespect but I think everyone has put bolt-ons on their 67's. When I bought my car it had repo bolt-ons on it but I got the original rallye wheels. I couldn't wait to refinish the Rallye wheels and to mount the redlines. Different strokes for different folkes!! Want to buy my repo bolt-ons?
